Twilight Belongs to Stephenie Meyer. If you don't know that by now you must have been living under a rock.

A/N:

Ok, first I have to make sure this is cleared up, so everyone is at the right spot in the story. Yesterday I deleted Chapter 4, where I basically just said the story was going on hiatus for a while, and then moved the rest of the chapters back. So, yesterday was the second time I posted under Chapter 7, which caused some confusion when it came to reviews. However, I wanted to make sure everyone knows that there was an actual chapter posted yesterday, and it wasn't just me deleting a chapter and the posting it again. So, if you didn't read the actual chapter 7 I posted yesterday, go do so now, otherwise this won't be as fun.

Good, glad to have that out of the way. Yes folks, it's Alice's turn! Yay! I have to admit that secretly I like writing Alice's chapters the best, but shhhh, don't tell E or B that. I almost cut her sections out during this part figuring you all would probably just want to bounce back and forth between E and B for this bit, but in the end I just couldn't do it to her. So here we are again, and she's so thankful to join us all.

Ok, enough silliness. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read this, and an especially big thank you to everyone who takes the time to review. I heart you guys!

Once again, just wanted to remind you all that I haven't asked anyone to beta for this, so be forgiving if I make mistakes here and there. Anyway, on to the loveliness that is Alice. I used Plain White T's to get in the mood for writing her this time, for anyone interested (why would you be though?).

Thanks again bebe's!

Alice

I met up with Jasper after school and we headed out to the parking lot to meet the others by the car. The only problem was when we got to where the car should have been there was just an empty space.

We looked around the parking lot in confusion. Was the car stolen? Had the others all left without us? We were only standing there a minute or two when we were joined by Rose and Em. Clearly then, they at least hadn't left us.

Rose was the first to voice our thoughts. "Where's the car?"

Jasper was the one to answer, saying, "We don't know. It was gone when we came out here. We didn't even know if you two were still here or were with the car somewhere."

"Did Edward leave? Is he with the car or was it stolen or something?" Em asked looking at me.

"I don't know. Last I saw him was at lunch and he didn't say anything about leaving early or anything. And Carlisle's at work, and Esme has a meeting that will probably last a while yet, so if he left I don't know how he expected us to get home," I said.

Rose pulled out her cell phone and started dialing. I closed my eyes and tried to pick up on Edward, but was getting nothing. No helpful visions to clear up this mystery.

What was the point of having visions if they didn't help you out in a jam? What's a girl to do when she has a superpower, that's not very super? I was jealous of Edward's little talent. His worked all the time.

He better have a good excuse for not being here. If he wasn't dead, or seriously hurt, or professing his love to Isabella Swan somewhere he was going to be inbig trouble.

I entertained myself for a moment picturing all the ways I would get back at him for leaving us like this high and dry, while I watched Rose try another number. I guessed that he wasn't picking up his cell.

I could rearrange his music collection. He's OCD about his CD's and has them all arranged just so. hmmm, that would be too subtle though, and definitely not evil enough. Oh, I could replace his wardrobe with one I had picked out instead, and that would have the added bonus of being seriously fun for me. But, no, he probably would just go to school in whatever outfit he happened to be wearing when I got rid of his clothes, just to be stubborn.

Ohhhhhhh, I could write Isabella a note and say it was from him! That would be perfect. Nothing big or anything, not like professing his undying love, though that would be fun. No, maybe like an invite to our house or something? Just something to get the two of them together. I wonder how I could make it seem realistic.

I was completely absorbed in my payback fantasies when Rose slammed the phone shut in obvious frustration. So Edward wasn't going to pick up the phone. Which meant we'd have to find our own way home.

I looked around at the mostly empty parking lot and groaned. This was going to be fun.

There was about three seconds of silence before we all started talking at once, giving our ideas on how we could get home. My vote was for hitchhiking, but Jaz shot that down right away saying it was too dangerous, and illegal. Emmett said jog home, and thankfully Rose shot that down before he got too attached to the idea. Jaz thought we should call a taxi, but that would be a pain.

We were still in the middle of it when Jaz called out to get our attention. I turned to look at him just to see him looking at a point behind me. When I turned around there was Isabella Swan standing behind me, looking nervous and unsure, but at the same time determined too.

I almost started jumping up and down. I saw a red truck behind her that must belong to her. Yes! I couldn't have planned a better way to introduce ourselves to her if I tried. This was perfect.

As I was just beginning to imagine Isabella and I walking around arm and arm, as new best friends, she broke through my daydreams by speaking. What was with everyone interrupting me when I was getting to all the good parts?

"You guys stranded?" she asked.

I stepped forward to answer, no way I was letting one of the others steal this moment from me.

"Looks like it. Our brother Edward drove us in today, and when we came out he was gone with the car, without an explanation. Our parents are both unavailable, and Edward seems to not be picking up the phone, his or the house line," I answered, then smiled at her reassuringly.

She pointed to the red truck behind her saying, "Well, I know we don't know each other or anything, but I've got my truck. Two of you would have to sit in the bed, but I could squeeze two of you upfront with me if you want a lift."

Ohhhh, this was just too perfect. I couldn't stop myself, I started bouncing up and down. We were going to ride home with Isabella! Yay! Once at our house she would come inside with us, I would make her come inside with us if I had to, and we would become the best friends we were destined to be.

Then of course Edward would see her and wouldn't be able to stop himself from falling madly in love with her and we would all live oh so happily ever after. Perfect.

The others were talking, but I wasn't even pretending to pay attention to them. I was too excited. I loved Edward! I'm so happy he abandoned us.

He sealed his own fate with this one. I totally didn't want to hear him complain now if he couldn't stop himself from obsessing over her, it was his own fault she was entering our lives. Hehehe, poor Edward.

I started paying attention just in time to hear her say she didn't have to be anywhere, and I smiled in anticipation as I stepped up and grabbed her hand to introduce myself.

"I'm Alice Cullen. Thank you so much for this! We'll be eternally grateful I promise. We would have been stuck here until our mom was out of her meeting, which probably wouldn't have been for another two hours yet," I said.

"It's nice to meet you Alice. I'm Bella Swan," she answered.

So she went by Bella. I've been calling her Isabella all day long in my head, but when I looked at her I realized that Bella fit her perfectly. Bella it was then.

I performed the rest of the introductions, and for the first time ever I was a little nervous. It was weird explaining our relationships to someone who hadn't seen it all play out. I knew she'd had to have heard all the gossip about us by now, but still it was weird having to say it out loud to her. I momentarily wondered if she'd go running towards her truck, deciding it best to stay far away from us.

In the end she just smiled at me, accepting the simple explanation I gave of our relationships. Oh Bella, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Poor girl, she had no idea that she just had sealed her fate. She was going to be my best friend, if it was the last thing I accomplished before I left this fair earth.

It was going to be so much fun having someone new to shop for too. I couldn't wait, I had so many ideas for her. I would definitely get her out of jeans. They looked good on her, but we could do so much better than that.

I heard Rose order the boys into the back of the truck and I ran over to climb inside the cab, sitting in the middle, between Bella and Rose.

I could tell that Rose was determined to be miserable and ignore us, which I was fine with. That meant I could have Bella to myself. I felt bad for Edward though, I could feel Rose's irritation with him for leaving us, or more importantly, her, stranded at school. She was not going to let this one go.

We started talking about what Bella thought of Forks High, and about holding the new kid status. The entire time we talked I planned.

How was I going to get her in the house? I knew I didn't need her to come in today to eventually become friends with her, but it would be so much easier to become friends fast if she came inside. Plus, I wanted her to. So, I would figure out a way to get her to agree.

Oh. Of course. I could just steal her truck keys. She already said she had nowhere to be, so if I just yanked the keys out she would have no choice but to come inside for a bit. Simple but totally effective. I loved it. Any plan that ended up getting me the results I wanted was a plan I could stand behind.

I noticed we were near our exit and had to focus, directing Bella to our house. We pulled into our driveway and finally made our way up to the house when I heard Bella let out a little gasp. I knew she was reacting to the size of the house, most people did.

I felt the need to explain, as I always did that the house looked big, but felt small with so many of us living in it. I could see the doubt on her face, but I knew if my plans came to fruition and she started spending as much time around here as I hoped she would that she would get to see for herself.

When she put the truck in park I reached over and turned the key and yanked it out of the ignition.

She looked at me in confusion, so I explained, "Look, you've already admitted you don't have any place you need to be, and we owe you for rescuing us. The least you can do is come in and hang out a little bit and let us try to make it up to you. It'll be fun and we'll get to know each other a little," I said.

I could see her hesitate, and try to decide if she'd be able to wiggle her way out of having to come inside, so I climbed out of the truck, determined to not give her a chance to object.

She must have resigned herself to accepting her fate, because she climbed out of the truck. I smiled as I watched Em go up and grab her up in a great big bear hug. Like me he must have already decided that he wanted her to be a part of our lives, because I've never seen him bear hug anyone outside of the family.

I smiled at his enthusiasm, listening as he said, "Thanks Bells! That was totally great. I had no idea riding in the back of a truck would be so entertaining. You coming in? Excellent. Let's go."

I was momentarily distracted by thoughts of Emmett. I was intensely happy to see him instantly take a liking to Bella, as I knew that his wants often took a backseat to those of Edward and I. We didn't do it on purpose, it was just that he was so easy going it was easy to sometimes forget that he had wants too.

It surprised me how happy he was to have Bella with us, and how quickly he accepted her into our fold. She didn't know it yet but he'd already determined that she was one of the family, and as such would do anything for her. I was so proud of my big brother in that instant, and I determined to spend some one on one time with Emmett in the near future as I realized how much I missed just hanging out with him.

Bella looked over at me and mouthed 'Bells?' and I just shrugged at her as Jasper came over and put his arm around me and we headed inside, Bella tucked safely under Em's arm.

As soon as we walked through the door we could hear Edward at the piano. We all instinctively turned toward the music room to watch him play a bit.

As I listened to the song I realized it was one I hadn't heard before. It was more intense than anything I'd ever heard him play before. I wondered what exactly had happened today to make him just leave school without so much as a word, and then leave us to our own devices to get back home. Whatever it was I was sure it was connected to the song he was playing now.

I leaned into Jasper as we listened to the song. I closed my eyes and for a few minutes put everything out of my mind but the man standing next to me.

Poor Jaz. He was getting neglected a lot today in all of my excitement over Bella. I was confident that he knew me enough to understand my current obsession over Bella, but still, I felt bad for neglecting him so.

I was so thankful to have a boyfriend who loved me so unconditionally, and who understood me so well. Jasper and I were two parts of the same whole. We completed each other in ways that even we didn't full understand yet.

As the song ended I wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a squeeze, before opening my eyes to watch Edward finish up playing.

He took a moment to collect himself after he stopped playing, as he sometimes had to do when he was playing a particularly emotional piece. Then he opened his eyes and looked over at us all, offering a little apologetic smile to us.

He looked over at each of us and then finally his eyes rested on Bella, who was standing a little behind the rest of us.

At first he stared at her for a second in shock and confusion. I could understand his confusion so wasn't surprised at this, it was what happened next that threw me. Instead of recovering and then introducing himself he seemed to lose control over himself. I watched as so many different emotions crossed his normally closed off face, unsure what was behind them.

Then I saw the last thing I would have ever expected to see. I saw his eyes darken up in anger, something I've only seen him allow to happen maybe a handful of times in our entire lives. I was so surprised that I took a half a step back, and then realized immediately that his anger was directed at Bella and went to move myself in front of her, hoping to protect her from his anger.

Before I could step away from Jaz though Edward slammed his fist against the piano keys, he actually hit his precious piano in anger, and then stand he stood up and walked out the front door without giving us any kind of explanation for his reaction.

We all stood there in shock, unsure of what the hell had just happened. One minute he was fine, and then the next it was if he was a psychotic stranger. Slowly, as one, we all turned around to look at Bella, who seemed to be the cause of this reaction.

She stared back at us, shock and confusion clearly evident on her face. It seemed as if she was just as clueless as to what had caused Edward's reaction as the rest of us were. I could see her searching for some words to offer up to make sense of it all, and as she closed her eyes in frustration I knew she had come up blank. Then, like Edward, without a word she turned and walked out the front door.

The rest of us stood there staring at the door after her, clearly realizing we had no idea what had just happened. Emmett was the first to react.

"What the fuck was that about?" he asked, looking over at me like I had all the answers.

"I have no idea Em. I've never in my life seen him react like that. It's not like it was the first time he'd seen her or anything, I saw him notice her at lunch. I don't know if they had any classes together after that, but if they did she didn't mention anything happening between the two of them, and I'm pretty sure she would have mentioned it to get out of coming in the house," I said.

Whatever had triggered his reaction I was sure that Bella was as clueless about it as the rest of us were.

"Great, she's probably long gone by now and thinking we've all lost our minds, and who knows what she thinks about Edward. Probably assumes he's some homicidal maniac or something. I'm sure this won't be uncomfortable tomorrow," Jasper mused.

I was already shaking my head no though.

"Uh-uh," I said, "I've got her truck keys. She might think we're all crazy, but I definitely know she's not long gone yet. The question is, did she go off to find Edward, or did she try to hop into her truck to leave, only to realize too late that she'd left behind her keys? One of us should go check. I'd feel bad if she was standing there by her truck trying desperately to figure out what the hell to do now."

Before anyone else could volunteer I walked out the front door and down the steps. It made the most sense after all, I was the one holding her keys, or at least that's how I justified being the one to run after her.

I silently cursed my brother for making my life difficult, and making my new best friend probably think that we were all a bunch of deranged lunatics. Damn Edward and his crazy little scene back there.

I was going to kill him. Screw getting revenge, I was going to kill my twin. He deserved nothing less after today's stunt. He probably scared Bella out of her mind. How many weeks, even months, had he robbed me of her friendship with that little stunt? She probably would avoid me like the plague now, and I couldn't even blame her. I would avoid me after something like that.

I narrowed my eyes as I walked towards the driveway and Bella's truck, determined to do damage control. I might not be able to totally fix the situation, but dammit, I was going to give it my best shot.

I was so wrapped up in my inner musings that it took me a second to register that although I clearly saw Bella's truck sitting in front of me, Bella was nowhere in sight. I looked all around me, turning in a circle, stupidly thinking maybe I just missed her. I actually walked up to the truck, peeking in the cab to make sure she wasn't curled up in a ball on the floor in tears or something. I wouldn't blame her one bit if she was.

The cab was empty however. Just to cover all of my bases I looked in the bed of the truck, just in case, but that turned out to be just as empty.

Huh. That's interesting.

She went after Edward then.

My mood did a one-eighty in that second, as I realized that she had actually followed after him. Whatever had just happened, it hadn't freaked her out enough to chase her away. I looked around wondering where they had run off to, and figured knowing Edward he probably headed towards his rock.

I debated briefly whether to follow them or not. Normally I wouldn't even think about it, but I remembered that moment back in the music room where I felt the need to step in front of Bella, to protect her from Edward, and I worried about her being off alone with him.

In the end though I realized that I was being unfair to my twin, not giving him enough credit. I knew him better than that and trusted him completely. Whatever had happened inside, whatever I was worried about happening, Edward would never hurt a soul, and especially not a girl. No matter what had caused his reaction, Bella was safe in his company.

I turned and headed back inside to update the others on the situation. As I walked up the path to the front door I finally started to wonder what Bella's involvement in all of this was.

I had initially thought that she was just an innocent bystander who somehow triggered Edward's anger. The more I thought about it though the more I felt like I was missing some of the puzzle pieces.

I started thinking about all the events from today, all the times Edward had acted unusual. There was the cafeteria, when he first saw Bella. His reaction to her then was more intense then I've ever seen him have towards someone. Then he'd disappeared from school shortly after that, taking the car and abandoning us. Then when we showed up at home with Bella in tow he seemed to lose his mind, and stormed off angrier then I've ever seen him in his life.

I felt pretty sure of myself when I concluded that Bella must have, for some unknown reason, been the trigger to it all. That was the only thing that would explain Edward's disappearance and then insane reaction to her later.

As I climbed the steps to the front door it finally occurred to me to wonder, what the hell happened between them today?

A/N:

Poor Alice, she seems to be a step behind here, and as someone who deals in futures she HATES being a step behind on anything. Ah well, it's fun to watch anyway.

I hope you liked it, and I hope you have as much fun reading Alice as I do writing her. When I decided to start writing Twilight FF I knew I wanted to include Alice as a narrator, just because I thought it would be fun.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who takes time out of their lives to follow my story, I appreciate it. And again, a big thank you to everyone who takes the time to review! You guys make my day. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day. Edward says to tell you that he'll see you next time, and that maybe he'll even explain his craziness then. ;)

Ciao!
